Period Home Renovations and Extensions in London
Thoughtful construction for London’s older homes
New End Construction renovates and extends period and older properties across London. We undertake house extensions, complete refurbishments, structural alterations, loft conversions and internal remodelling, with bespoke carpentry and joinery available through our sister company, Albeno.
Our team understands that renovating an older home is rarely straightforward. Original walls may be uneven, previous alterations may need correcting and important period details often need to be retained or carefully reproduced.
Whether you are extending a Victorian terrace, reconfiguring an Edwardian house or completely renovating a 1930s family home, we can help manage the work from the early planning stages through to completion.
Renovating and extending London homes
London’s older properties offer character, generous proportions and distinctive architectural details, but they can also present practical construction challenges.
A renovation or extension may uncover outdated wiring, deteriorated plumbing, damp, insufficient insulation, uneven floors or earlier building work that no longer meets current standards. Structural alterations also need to be carefully integrated with the original building.
Our work can include extensions, loft conversions, structural alterations, complete refurbishments, kitchens and bathrooms, external works and landscaping.
One coordinated approach to construction and joinery
One of the distinguishing features of New End Construction is our close relationship with Albeno, our sister joinery company.
This allows bespoke joinery to be considered as part of the wider renovation rather than added as an afterthought. Building dimensions, electrical positions, lighting, finishes and installation requirements can be coordinated earlier in the project.
We can coordinate bespoke kitchens, wardrobes, fitted furniture, doors, windows and other made-to-measure joinery with the wider building programme.
This coordinated approach is particularly useful in period homes, where standard-sized furniture and fittings may not suit uneven walls, unusual proportions or original architectural features.
London extensions for period homes
A successful extension should provide valuable additional space while feeling connected to the original house. The design may complement the existing architecture or introduce a carefully considered contrast.
NEC can build from an existing architectural package or help clients identify the drawings, structural information and specialist advice required before construction begins.
Complete home renovations
For properties requiring more extensive work, NEC can coordinate structural alterations, internal reconfiguration, extensions, loft conversions, building services, finishes and bespoke joinery as one planned construction project.

We can work from drawings prepared by your architect or discuss the professional information your project may require. Depending on the scheme, this may include an architect or designer, structural engineer, party wall surveyor and building-control provider.
-
That depends on the property, location and proposed work. Some extensions and loft conversions may fall within permitted development rights, while others require a planning application. Listed buildings, flats and properties in conservation areas may be subject to additional controls.
The relevant permissions should always be confirmed for the specific property before construction starts.
-
The cost depends on the size and condition of the property, structural work, specification, access and the extent of the refurbishment. Older buildings can also contain concealed issues that are not apparent before work begins.
Once the design and scope are sufficiently developed, we can review the information and prepare a project-specific quotation.
-
Yes. Bespoke kitchens, wardrobes, fitted furniture, doors, windows and other timber work can be provided through our sister company, Albeno. Including the joinery in the project planning helps coordinate dimensions, services, finishes and installation.
